Bowling is a sport that I think could be co-ed for the NCAA. Is it necessary to have men and women's teams? I think the competition can be very even and the additional strength men naturally have is not a factor in the sport IMO.

In the few bowling tourneys that I played in, our teams (from work) were mixed. 

I think it's one of the few "bigger" sports where men and women can compete on an even level without one having an advantage over the other.

If it was co-ed, quite simply, it wouldn't exist.

The only reason it is a sport is that it is a relatively cheap way to get closer to Title IX compliance.     If it was a co-ed sport then those schools using bowling as a pathetic attempt to have Title IX compliance would need to offer women's billiards or women's darts.
